Jack Armstrong
So back to the Katie, Katie the news lady. We got a text with a couple of questions that I don't think we've ever asked you before. I'll just read it this way. Katie Green is a great addition to Armstrong and Getty. A real pro. But I do have some questions. One, how many push ups can she do?
Katie Green
What the hell?
Unknown
You know, I don't. I don't know. I know that I've done. I think it was 28 and 30 seconds.
Jack Armstrong
How recently?
Unknown
Like two months ago.
Jack Armstrong
Okay, that's pretty.
Unknown
I think that number's probably gone up.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. If it's fairly recently, that's okay. I've never. I don't like people tell me how like this always comes up with running 2006. This always comes up with running with me. And how. How long did it take you to run the 10k or whatever? I. I used to run a 10k and whatever. Yeah. How long ago was that? When's the last time you ran a 10k? And if you haven't done it in 15 years, I don't freaking care. All right? What difference does it make? Do it now.
Katie Green
1978. By the way, as long as you asked.
Jack Armstrong
Literally the last time you ran a 10K. Yeah.
Katie Green
It might have been 79.
Jack Armstrong
I'm going to do one in the next year. That's what I'm building up to. I'm going to run a 10k in the next year.
Unknown
I am one of those. I need to get that 0.0 sticker for my car because I have never run a 10k and will never run a 10k.
Jack Armstrong
I've never seen that. That's hilarious. 0.0 in the same font.
Unknown
Yeah. And it says I don't run.
Katie Green
If a bear chases me for 10km, I will do a 10k.
Unknown
There you go.
Jack Armstrong
Turn to the bear and say, how long we going to do this? Because if it's going to be more than 6.1 miles, I might as well just lay down.
Katie Green
Right. Why would I want you to eat me when I'm tired and you're tired? Just get this over.
Jack Armstrong
There's no advantage to either one of us.
Unknown
Cut to the right.
Jack Armstrong
Cut the chase to the catch. Ah, so you've done that many push ups fairly recently. That's a good chunk of push ups right there.
Katie Green
I have not done a one since my back problems started last summer. So I think I need to start working my way back. I haven't even tried it.
Jack Armstrong
I'm. I'm three out of the last five days, I think. So I'm. I'm on a bit of a roll here, eating and exercising. Have you ever Been arrested?
Unknown
No.
Jack Armstrong
No, You. There was a. There's a hesitation.
Unknown
No, there was a dumb situation when I was in middle school that it resulted in me getting in a lot of trouble momentarily before the truth came out.
Jack Armstrong
But you weren't arrested.
Unknown
No, I've never been arrested.
Jack Armstrong
So your hesitation wasn't. Should I say this out loud on the air or not? Your hesitation was because I went through.
Unknown
That most of the process. Everything other than getting booked, I went through the process of some k. Ripped the Mercedes emblem off of the vice principal's car and stuck it in my backpack because I had come from a Christian school, and he was all anti Jesus and God and all that.
Jack Armstrong
Wow.
Katie Green
And then told.
Unknown
And then told the school. And the best part was when the. The assistant principal came and got me from class, and she pulls me out and she says, you know, I think you have something of mine. And I'm like, oh, no. She goes, you might be wearing it around your neck. Because all the kids were, like, wearing the big fake car emblems around their chains.
Jack Armstrong
I remember that when that was a thing. Yeah, yeah.
Unknown
And so I pulled out the Catholic. You know, the Celtic cross that my mom had got me, and I'm like. I'm clueless at this point. She opens my backpack, and there was a Mercedes emblem in there.
Jack Armstrong
Wow. So this kid went and said, katie Green stole the Mercedes emblem. Yeah.
Unknown
Said he saw me take it. He did it to another girl that transferred to the school from the same school with me. So we both got pulled into the office, and we're talking to the cops, and.
Katie Green
Well. And how long did it take you to straighten this out? Flavor Flav.
Jack Armstrong
How did you. How did you clear yourself?
Unknown
It. It took about. I think I was in the office for four and a half hours writing a statement and everything. And then the whole time I'm going, my dad's a judge. Just call him. We'll clear this up. You know, because he was a judge at the time, and. Yeah, it took a lot. It was traumatic.
Jack Armstrong
You know, for some reason, this reminds me of one of my more embarrassing stories.
Unknown
Oh, no.
Katie Green
Before we get there, Katie, what does it take to become a judge? Because Jack knows this. I've been saying for years I ought to be a judge. Do you know why? Because I'm so judgmental.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
Katie Green
I think I'd be really good at it. So did your dad get elected or was he an appointed judge or.
Unknown
He was.
He was appointed by Duke Mason.
Katie Green
Oh, okay. A governor of yesteryear.
Unknown
Yes.
Katie Green
Okay.
Unknown
Was he a TV judge?
Jack Armstrong
Everybody on tv.
Unknown
Oh, he could give Judge Judy a run for money.
Katie Green
Oh, I so want to be a TV judge. Anyway, Jack has an embarrassing story.
Jack Armstrong
Gladys. I was in high school. I didn't believe I was a sophomore in the band. And this is embarrassing for odd reasons. So the trumpet section had decided that during this rest arrest, if you don't know music is the silence or you'd stop playing. But in this case, it was actually silenced during the song. During the rest, all the trumpet players were going to. I forget what the noise was. Even pretend to burp or something like that. So it was like about, about, about, about, about, about. But everybody was going to do that. And, and, and I didn't. But all the other trumpet players did. And the band teacher went back crazy like band teachers do over anything.
Katie Green
Yes, yes. Because they hate life.
Jack Armstrong
Because they hate life. They hate the fact that they're genius musicians, usually. And teaching a bunch of teenagers who couldn't give a crap about music and it makes them so angry that they drink and yell at children. This is when you exactly hurdle things at them. Yes. He used to throw his keys at people. His whole set of keys or the baton. He throw the baton at people, erasers, all kinds of stuff. But anyway, he got so mad at people burping during the rest. And he went one by one, who did it? Who did that? And then everybody's just kind of sitting there and some people were smirking, whatever, and he went one by one and looked them in the eye and put their finger right in their face. Did you make that sound during the rest? And most of the. Most of them fessed up and said yes, but it got to me and I said no, because I didn't. So I had. I was like. It was like a triple whammy of awful. I don't think the band teacher believed me. The other kids were like, what a puss. Because I didn't. And then I was feeling horrible for fever and thinking I was lying and that my peers. I was weak for not joining them in the completely meaningless hijinks. But that's kind of person I was. I didn't join in the hijinks.
Unknown
And here we are all these years later, and it's still affecting.
Jack Armstrong
It's still affecting me. Not because it bothers me, because I didn't. I'd feel better if I had.
Katie Green
Well, you may have been a trumpeter, but you've certainly earned the sad trombone.
Jack Armstrong
It's exactly. That's exactly right. I didn't join in. Meaningless. Nobody gets hurt. Teenage hijinks because I was too straight laced. Isn't that incredible?
Unknown
And you still got yelled at for it.
Jack Armstrong
And I still got in trouble for it because he didn't believe me. I could tell he didn't believe me.
Katie Green
So are there any more questions for Katie? Yes, I'm enjoying this.
Jack Armstrong
Have you ever been arrested? What's the biggest celebrity you've ever met?
Unknown
Oh, I interviewed the cast of Jackass, so Johnny Knoxville and all those guys.
Jack Armstrong
Okay, cool.
Unknown
And Robin Williams.
Jack Armstrong
That's a big one. That's a really big one.
Unknown
He was really sweet.
Jack Armstrong
At what point in his life later.
Unknown
Actually, this was in 2011, so that's.
Jack Armstrong
Toward the end then.
Unknown
Yeah. He was at. I was at a comedy show, and his daughter was performing, and he was there to watch his daughter.
Jack Armstrong
Ah, Cool. Bay Area guy. So.
Unknown
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
Easier to run into San Francisco.
Unknown
The Purple Onion.
Jack Armstrong
Do you get anything out of meeting celebrities at this point in your life?
Unknown
Not really.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. I don't really. After you meet, everybody should get to have the experience of meeting enough celebrities to realize it ain't nothing.
Katie Green
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
It's just. It ain't nothing.
Unknown
Usually fairly awkward or, like, I mean, you guys know this. Be in a position where some people might look at you as one, and you're just like, no.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, exactly.
Unknown
Not at all.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. And that's the weird thing about celebrity. It's all in the other person's head. It doesn't actually exist as a thing. It's. You can't measure it or anything like that.
Katie Green
Right, right. And while I actually, 98% of the time, really enjoy meeting folks who say, hey, I recognize you, I just want to say, I like the show. It's because people are very nice and.
Jack Armstrong
Sure. Oh, yeah.
Katie Green
They often end up being really nice people who I enjoy chatting with. Yeah. The greatest experiment or experience, rather to illustrate what Jack's talking about is, and this happened, many will meet, like, a super avid listener who has a friend with them who doesn't listen or has never heard of us or was from a different part of the country or whatever. You had one person about to go to pieces, and the other like, hey, how's it going? So, as some people have observed, fame isn't something you have, it's something they have.
Unknown
That's a great way to put it.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
Katie Green
And don't. It's. It's. So anybody who aspires to fame, don't trust me when I say this.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
Katie Green
If you aspire to have a successful business. Business. I. I consider our quote, unquote, fame just to be like an after effect of of having a successful business. But the idea that your self image will rise and fall based on the number of people who think you're cool or whatever. No you don't. Don't get into that.
Unknown
The Armstrong and Getty show get more.
Jack Armstrong
Jack, more Joe podcasts and our hot.

Just a few years ago, only 3% of domestic violence shelters accepted pets, meaning many abuse survivors had to choose between staying in a difficult situation for their pet or leaving their pet behind. One in three women and one in four men experience domestic abuse in their lifetime. And nearly half of survivors delay leaving because they can't bring their pets with them. Purina believes in the healing power of pets, particularly for survivors of abuse. They believe pets and people are better together, which is one of the many reasons they started the Purple Leash Project. Through the Purple Leash Project, Purina is helping break down one of the many barriers abuse survivors face. The lack of pet friendly domestic violence shelters. Purina has helped increase the amount of pet friendly shelters across the country from 3% to nearly 20% through the purple Leash Project. With more pet friendly domestic violence shelters, survivors and their pets can escape and heal together. Visit purina.compurple to get involved.
Jack Armstrong
So here's the serious thing I was going to do, which feels weird now, but maybe I need transition music in my mind. Have we ever used transmission transmission music? This is when you shift from second to third gear transition music from silly to serious. Can we do that, Michael?
Unknown
Yeah, I think this one will work.
Jack Armstrong
Actually both ways here.
Katie Green
Okay. You know, you're right. We used to have different silly to serious music than our serious to silly music.
Jack Armstrong
This is a song. This, this does work. This is a song Sam's gonna be dancing to. Girl.
Joe Getty
You know, it would have been.
Jack Armstrong
Great in the 50s when the twist was popular. Anybody can twist. Wouldn't that have been awesome when there were dances, the monkey to swim, anything that you just like you knew what you're supposed to do with your hands.
Katie Green
And it was crazy simple.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, I'm not doing a good job of transitioning something serious. This Air Force pilot retired over the weekend who was involved in 9 11. And I had never heard this story or I had and I forgot it because I can hide my own Easter eggs. Anyway, this Air Force F16 pilot retired over the weekend after 40 years in the Air Force. He. His job was to take out Flight 93, the last plane that was still in the air on 9 11. And I had never heard this story in complete completion. I knew that we had scrambled fighter jets and that that was a possibility. I didn't know this. He's 61 years old now. He was in his late 30s at the time. And him and this other Female pilot Heather Penny, who was 26 at the time, were ordered to go up. This is after, you know, two planes had hit the World Trade center, one had hit the Pentagon, and there was another plane in the air. And we figured it out. And this had all occurred in, like, seconds. And this was all happening really, really fast. And they were scrambled and told to go up and what was the actual phrase? Stop it. Their orders were to locate Flight 93 and stop it. That's all they were told. So him and this other woman went up and he was the guy in charge. And he went up because he didn't want to ask anybody else to do this because he had a. An idea of how awful this would be. Oh, wow. They decided, him and this woman, that if required, they would hit the hijacked plane with their jets, making it a suicide mission. They were what? Yeah, he said that we couldn't figure out how to at first because our fighter jets were not armed with missiles.
Katie Green
Oh.
Jack Armstrong
We didn't have any weapons. We were just. We just went up and were told to stop that plane.
Katie Green
Oh, my Lord.
Jack Armstrong
So you hadn't heard this either? I had heard, no.
Unknown
Oh.
Jack Armstrong
So he and this woman said they. They planned to ram the front of the jetliner and she. He was going to hit it from the front, she was going to hit it from the back at the same time, flying at, you know, 600 miles an hour. And that's what they were going to do. But right before, they were already in the air and screaming toward the plane. Before it happened, they got word that the plane had gone down because we all know the passengers took over the plane and it crashed into the ground and they all died. This guy, the woman was single and childless. But this dudes. I should give his name. I haven't even his name yet, have I? He's a freaking hero. Mark Sassville. He had a wife and two young children, ages 3 and 5 at the time. He said, it's a testament to those people that brought down that plane, that changed my life's family forever. He was gonna die.
Katie Green
Oh.
Unknown
Wife and two young kids going, okay, this is what I have to do.
Jack Armstrong
He said he didn't even think about it at the time. He said training just kicked in. It all happened so fast. They were given the order to take down the plane. Okay. And he talked to the woman. This is what we'll do. We'll fly into the plane. And it just all. I'm sure it was happening very, very fast.
Katie Green
Yeah, yeah. More toxic masculinity from him and. And her. Yeah. Wow. That's. That's incredible. How many people did those passengers on Flight 93 save? It's a number that'll never be known. Well, the flight was believed to be headed for what, the White House?
Jack Armstrong
That's what I was gonna say. They're not certain still on that yet. There were some beliefs that it was the White House, some. That it was the Capitol, but either way, it was gonna be.
Katie Green
Oh, that's right, the Capitol. Yeah. Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
Either way, it was gonna be bad.
Katie Green
Yeah.
Unknown
I'd be interested to know if he called his wife prior to getting in that jet.
Jack Armstrong
Oh. What you would say from reading just this short description of. There was no time for that. This was a. This is what's happened. There's still a flight in the air. Like, run to the plane, get in the air and just go and go. Yeah.
Unknown
Wow.
Katie Green
If you read the 911 report, it was amazing how much confusion there was. And trying to get planes in the air to defend D.C. or whatever. There's nobody even knew who to call to suddenly defend the homeland. And so enormous amounts of time elapsed before they got, like, a significant force up in the air.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Somehow I just happened to see the video the other day of George Bush reading the reading to those kids, and the person came and whispered in his ear, Mr. President, we're under attack. I understand why he did this, how he did it, because he was in shock himself. You know, he says he didn't want to, like, freak out the kids. He should have stood up right there and just walked out. The kids will be fine. The whole America's. The whole country is about to be freaked out.
Katie Green
So, yeah.
Jack Armstrong
Waiting another. However many minutes it was before he did anything, and I don't know that was the best choice, but I can understand. Yeah, that's. That's a lot to comprehend in a very. You know, all of a sudden, sitting in front of the press. Yeah, he was sitting there because I was just. For some reason. Oh. I was at some more recent interview where he talks about it, because now he is an old man. It's interesting to see the videos of him now he is an old man, but. And he was such a young man at the time, but he was talking about how he was looking at the back of the room and seeing all the press. They were all getting the alerts, so he knew. They knew. And that's a lot to have rattled through your brain at one time.
Katie Green
I actually know a couple of people who know W.1 a little bit.1 very, very well. He was in the press office for HW and then New W and his family, too. And everybody who knows George W. Really, really likes him. And this guy who worked for HW for a number of years, he. He echoes the impression I'd always gotten. He said he's one of the most honorable and decent people he's ever known.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, well, lots of people say that, which is interesting. What happened in terms of our choosing? We choose our candidates now the way we choose our candidates. Yeah, we don't have any requirements for decency or experience or really anything.
Unknown
Mental capacity, coherence.
Jack Armstrong
Hey, what are you gonna do?

Jack Armstrong
I guess this is a problem in a number of different states, but this particular lawsuit is in California. If you're a nurse or you work at a hospital, for instance, in any capacity really, but you have your PhD, do you get to call yourself doctor so and so if I have a PhD in history but I work at a hospital, yes. Do I get to call myself Dr. Jack Armstrong?
Katie Green
Yes.
Jack Armstrong
Well apparently you can't in a lot of states that's against the law. It's not as clear in California. And this woman who was told not to call herself doctor anymore, she's a nurse, but she introduces herself as doctor so and so and has that on her little tag and signs things that way. It confuses the patients obviously. And she is told not to do that. She is suing, saying, you know, hey, I worked really hard to spend a lot of money, I got this degree, this is the title, I get to call myself this. And so they're trying to work it out.
Katie Green
I suggest that the further it is from medical science or science at all, the more enthusiastic I am about this idea. You have a PhD in women's studies, you ought to call yourself doctor in the hospital and walk into patients rooms and they Say, doctor, I don't know if this drug is working. You say, well, I wouldn't know. I don't know anything about medicine. Then walk out again and leave them wondering what. What the hell is going on here?
Jack Armstrong
But I can tell you about Napoleon's loss at Waterloo, because that's what I have my PhD in.
Katie Green
Wow. The whole I got a PhD, so I. You gotta call me doctor.
Jack Armstrong
You know, I've known a few. Well, I've known quite a few people with PhDs, but I've only known a few that really trotted out a lot. Usually it's only when it's contextually makes sense. Like if, you know, if you're. If you're having a meeting about business and you got somebody There got a PhD in business to introduce him as Dr. So and so went to Stanford. That's, that's perfectly fine.
Katie Green
It's a stretch, man.
Jack Armstrong
But that's not even necessary. But they're just like regularly casual. You're out for dinner and you introduce yourself as Dr. So and so. Eh? Come on.
Katie Green
Well, how about freaking Dr. Jill Biden?
Unknown
Exactly what I was thinking.
Katie Green
You got what, a PhD in library or something? Library science or whatever it is, English.
Jack Armstrong
I've had more acquaintances or friends that actually kind of hide the fact that they have a PhD unless it like really comes up in conversation and you would kind of get into a weird territory to not mention it. They don't mention it because of the way it comes off. So this particular woman who's suing California to be able to call herself doctor says she always tells patients as a nurse when she goes in there and they say, oh, hi, Dr. Janine. I have her name here, but doesn't matter. And she says, I'm not a medical doctor at my PhD in something else. My first thought would be, then why do you call yourself doctor in a freaking hospital? Wouldn't that be your first thought?
Katie Green
There's something.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
Katie Green
Amen to that.
Jack Armstrong
I don't know. It's. I don't know seems really, you know what you're doing. Quit pretending you don't know what you're doing walking around a hospital with a badge that says doctor so and so on. It's.
Katie Green
I can't remember. Did you tell us what her PhD is in? I'm only mildly interested.
Jack Armstrong
I just had that in front of me that I don't remember.
Katie Green
I'm just curious how ridiculous it is.
Unknown
What about DJs who refer to themselves as doctors?
Katie Green
Yeah. Should they be allowed to identify themselves.
Jack Armstrong
Thusly in a hospital Dr. Johnny Fever.
Katie Green
I have spinned spun many platters to get this nickname. I deserve credit for it.
Jack Armstrong
She has a doctorate of nursing practice, whatever that is.
Katie Green
Well, that's funny. I'm a doctor of nursing.
Jack Armstrong
That's weird. I'm a nursing of doctor. You want to go out sometime? Anyway, Wow. I would just say this. If you have a PhD and you probably know this, most people. I think the vast majority of people kind of roll their eyes if you introduce yourself as doctor so and so or your wife does or husband does or whatever. All right. I think most people.
Katie Green
Do they make fun of you after you leave? Certainly.
Unknown
I like what Joe said. She basically has this. She has a doctorate and it's the highest level of nurse training is what I'm seeing. So she's doctor Nurse.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Are you someone who can fix my knee or take out my gallbladder? No. Well, then shut up. I agree with you, Katie. Woman sounds annoying.
Katie Green
I'm a doctor of nursing. That's so funny.
Jack Armstrong
I'm trying to think.
Katie Green
Is there anything like anything similar to that?
Jack Armstrong
I don't know.
Katie Green
It is a pretty unique doctor of nursing. It'd be like I'm an engineer of. No, there's nothing analogous.
Jack Armstrong
I don't think so.
Katie Green
Because a nurse is kind of sort of an assistant to doctors.
Jack Armstrong
I'm the president of vice presidents. I don't know.
Katie Green
Yeah, yeah. I'm the president of the vice President's association.
Unknown
I don't know that. That's something I would walk around pointing out every day. That's why I think she's obnoxious. What is. You know what? What good is she doing herself or anyone else she encounters?
Katie Green
So you're super well educated in your profession. Good for you. Go out and prove it. That's fine.
Jack Armstrong
I'm the captain of the second mates division. So moving on to Disney. I haven't heard what this is, but it's labeled as the secrets of Disney World. I have never been to Disney World. Maybe I'll learn something here.
Nick Chubb
1.
J
At Magic Kingdom, all cast members are empowered to create magical moments. These are designed for. If you see a kid lose their turkey leg to a seagull, you can go get them a brand new one for free. Have you ever seen a janitor move stash through the park? The answer is no. That would destroy the magic. Every trash can that you see is not actually a trash can, but a chute that goes directly into Disney's trash compactor system called the Utilidor. Nobody throws up at Disney World that's gross. They have protein spills and every cast member has protein spill powder. You throw it on top of the throw up, it dries it up and the janitor will come and clean it up a few minutes later. I would have to call child protective Services, the police and Disney management. At least once a month while working at Space Mountain, why their parents thought it would be a great idea to wait a two and a half hour line to get onto Space Mountain and leave their kid out front. Well, by the time they get off that ride, the police greet them and no one leaves happy. And it's not very magical.
Katie Green
Wow.
Jack Armstrong
So a couple of things. One, I think we need to start editing TikTok clips to put space between thoughts. I understand why they do it on TikTok, but for me, my mind, I get interested in something and then you hit with me with something else and. Okay, I can do that for me. Well, just about.
Katie Green
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
Like a beat.
Katie Green
So I can't Boomer brain.
Jack Armstrong
Maybe I have Boomer brain. Yeah. I mean, because Tick Tock's the most successful thing and ever. I guess young people can handle that. But I get. I hear it and like. Well, that's. And then they're on to the next thing. Anywho, I didn't know that. So you don't see janitors going to empty the garbage bins, which is kind of gross because it goes down into a chute. All right, interesting. They call vomiting protein spills.
Katie Green
And every cast member has the powder. Got a utility belt like Batman.
Jack Armstrong
Right. Ready to throw a little powder on the protein spill immediately.
Katie Green
A little puke powder.
Jack Armstrong
And then there were a couple other things in there I wanted to comment on, but my boomer brain couldn't comprehend them because it was coming at me so fast.
Katie Green
Well, you have the people leaving their kid to fend for themselves, their little kid as they wait two and a half hours for rides. Just sit there on the bench, Johnny. I'll be back.
Jack Armstrong
I did wait with my kids for, I think two and a half hours for the Mario ride at Nintendo Land or whatever that thing is called. Is that what it's called, Nintendo Land? I don't even know what it's.
Katie Green
No clue.
Jack Armstrong
Universal Studios, Nintendo World. Yeah, it's what's called. Yeah, yeah. And the Mario ride, which it had just opened and it was like the hottest thing going.
Unknown
And if there goes half your day. Right.
Jack Armstrong
I mean, yeah, it's a lot of your day, but that's why we went. The reason we went was to ride that ride. So. And it was all 30 year olds, right? A lot of 30 year olds in costume. A lot of 30 year olds by themselves in costume.
Katie Green
Oh boy.
Unknown
That I don't get.
Katie Green
No, it makes me sad, but I.
Jack Armstrong
Would say that it was the quickest moving two and a half hours I've ever done in my life. I mean, they you. I don't think I stood stood for more than a few seconds. You're kind of constantly shuffling or walking.
Katie Green
And usually in the Disney style. And this was their genius. You come across something interesting and entertaining as you're waiting.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. You walk through the castle. So you'd go up these stairs, around a corner and then you're in a room. There's a couple of things to look at. And then you go down this stair and into a corner. All right, there's something interesting. So it went by fairly quickly. I don't know whoever invented that, that was very clever. They understood psychology in an amazing way. But I. I don't know that I'd ever do it again. My one kid said it was absolutely worth it and my other kid said it was a teenager. Of course, nothing's worth it to him. Right? By definition, as a teenager, nothing's cool. Nothing's worth it. The Armstrong and Yeti Show.

Just a few years ago, only 3% of domestic violence shelters accepted pets, meaning many abuse survivors had to choose between staying in a difficult situation for their pet or leaving their pet behind. One in three women and one in four men experience domestic abuse in their lifetime, and nearly half of survivors delay leaving because they can't bring their pets with them. Purina believes in the healing power of pets, particularly for survivors of abuse. They believe pets and people are better together, which is one of the many reasons they started the Purple Leash Project. Through the Purple Leash Project, Purina is helping break down one of the many barriers abuse survivors face. The lack of pet friendly domestic violence shelters. Purina has helped increase the amount of pet friendly shelters across the country from 3% to nearly 20% through the purple Leash Project. With more pet friendly domestic violence shelters, survivors and their pets can escape and heal together. Visit purina.compurple to get involved it's the.

Jack Armstrong
Podcasts I angered some people by not taking Nikki Haley seriously enough or something. I feel like I've taken it fairly seriously from the beginning, but I can vouch for that.
Katie Green
He has.
Jack Armstrong
Yes, but I guess if you don't do it every single time and somebody only hears one comment like me commenting on her dress today, I feel like that's the only thing I've ever thought about her. She was wearing a red dress and I said, man, that's some Nice dress. In defense of Jack, Red is a bold color for a politician to wear. It is if you wear a bright red dress. I assume you're trying to diverse some attention to yourself, but isn't there some.
Katie Green
Forbidding of doing that in the book of Leviticus or something like that, wearing a red dress.
Jack Armstrong
But this person went on to say if a man made a speech wearing a red suit. I'll bet you would have mentioned that first as well. Women get that you have all the options for all these different clothes you can wear if, if Mitt Romney came out in a bright red suit. I mean, the first thing anybody said, holy crap.
Katie Green
Like he's Sinbad or something. Yes.
Jack Armstrong
For instance. Or a professional pool player or something.
Katie Green
I don't know. It's always struck me, you see the Senate chamber, the House chamber, and you have every single guy in a dark suit, a white or light blue shirt and a red or blue tie. Every single damn one of them. And then you've got the many colors of the rainbow of the gals. They're wearing white and yellow and red.
Jack Armstrong
Blue and whatever they want. Dresses, pants, suits, brooches. No brooches. You got all the options to you if you're a woman. Woman, Katie. But only of course the downside is, I know I've heard women say this before, is I gotta come up with something to wear where you get to just throw on a suit and always call yourself dressed up.
Katie Green
Correct.
Jack Armstrong
Which is handy.
Unknown
Yeah, absolutely. Well, especially because it's also simpler. You have your, your pants, your shirt, your jacket, which is what you guys wear usually anyway.
Jack Armstrong
I wear a suit to work most every day. And it is, it is, it is easier than dressing casual to wear a suit.
Katie Green
Oh yeah, absolutely true. If you have two suits, you've covered it. If you have three, you're trying too hard. And the other thing is about suits is you can gain five pounds, lose five pounds, they fit fine.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, I got four suits. I rotate bunch of dress shirts. It's super easy to dress. But if I was trying to dress up without a suit, that take a lot of money and time.
Unknown
Yeah. Dresses are not forgiving, guys. I'll tell you that. Those things do not give either.
Jack Armstrong
It either fits the way it was did when you bought it. Or not.
Unknown
Yes, or. And it'll never fit that way again.
Jack Armstrong
Interesting. I've not had that situation.
Unknown
Haven't tried on many dresses.
Jack Armstrong
Huh. So the CIA has done a lot of wacky things throughout the years and a whole bunch of it has been declassified because after 25 years or 30 years or 50 years. There are different rules for different levels of stuff. Some of this stuff comes out. Some of this I've heard before, some of this I'd never like. All this stuff about the way we ways we tried to kill Fidel Castro, I've heard many, many times.
Katie Green
Oh, a classic.
Jack Armstrong
We actually did try to poison his cigars or have exploding cigars and kill him or at least considered it. And a bunch of other stuff. But some of this new stuff I had not heard. The Osama bin Laden demon toy. The plan after 911 was to make figurines that looked like Osama bin Laden and give them to kids in South Asia. After being left in the sun for a certain amount of time, its face would peel off to reveal a demon like vision with red skin, green eyes and black markings. The objective was to scare kids and their parents so Bin Laden and Al Qaeda would lose support points for creativity.
Katie Green
Jeez, how about a stick with me now? How about a melting faced demon figurine?
Unknown
Sounds like they were on some bad acid.
Katie Green
Oh wow.
Jack Armstrong
There are no bad ideas, Joe. Let's go with the Osama bin Laden demon face. This one's from the Cold War, but I don't think I'd heard this one before. The Cold War Condom drop plan. CIA operatives drew up a plan to have packets of extra large condoms labeled small dropped on the ussr. The idea was to lower their morale.
Katie Green
That would work.
Jack Armstrong
Wow. I can't this small condom still way too big for me.
Katie Green
Wow. My must be tiny compared to the West.
Jack Armstrong
You know, with this tiny, I see no reason to fight for the motherland. If I had a giant, I would lay down my life gladly for this.
Katie Green
Corrupt regime until the end. Yes.
Jack Armstrong
But with this miniscule, I am just going home.
Katie Green
Right? This is a devilish plan.
Unknown
That's hilarious.
Katie Green
Wow.
Jack Armstrong
The acoustic kitty.
Katie Green
They.
Jack Armstrong
They basically put a microphone and a radio and a cat and released it in the Soviet embassy to wander around eavesdropping. Since nobody suspects a wandering cat. Wow.
Katie Green
Wow. Poor cat.
Unknown
All of these ideas just sound like somebody was really high to me.
Katie Green
They really do. Dude, what if you're to like put a microphone up a cat?
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
Katie Green
And then turn it loose because nobody's gonna think a cat's a spy. Oh, dude.
Jack Armstrong
Most.
Katie Green
What if the cat spy pooped out the mic? Dude, then it'd totally be busted. What are they gonna do? Question the cat man?
Jack Armstrong
Most cat pervert. Most places of work I've been in, you just don't ignore wandering stray Cats in the hallways, Another stray cat. Anyway, Jim, as I was saying, the place to attack the United States is boy. But this is the one I wanted to get on because it backs up, I believe Hitler and I agree on one thing, and that is modern art is bogus.
Katie Green
Wow.
Jack Armstrong
But modern art as a CIA weapon? Back during the 60s, the CIA noticed that artists tend to lean towards socialism, communism. They realized the best way to prevent this or discredit these political positions was to make them wealthy so that they would be more invested in capitalism. To do this, the CA anonymously bought modern art pieces, no matter how nonsensical, for very high prices, making a whole bunch of modern artists rich so they would embrace capitalism. So a lot of that modern art that got successful and sold was a CIA plot, not some discerning art collector.
Unknown
Hmm.
Katie Green
That makes the cat mic sound like a really good idea. I mean, good lord, really? What the. Wow.
Unknown
Sounds like a massive waste of money.
Katie Green
I know what we'll do. I mean, what if they just like, donated to the Communist Party? I mean, I don't like that one. That is weak.
Jack Armstrong
So you like the cat microphone store better than the big fan of that one buying modern art?
Unknown
Huge fan.
Jack Armstrong
I'm not a fan.
Katie Green
Did they give any specific examples? I mean, like, was Andy Warhol entirely a product of the CIA's?
Jack Armstrong
Right.
Katie Green
You know, writing checks.
Jack Armstrong
Nobody had any interest in those soup cans except for the CIA. Could be. I don't know. It doesn't say.
Katie Green
Wow. Wow, how interesting.
Jack Armstrong
Cat microphone. That's your favorite idea?
Katie Green
Yeah, for a number of reasons.
Jack Armstrong
Exactly.
Katie Green
Of course, the way they walk around with their tails up in the air. You could a camera, you know.
Jack Armstrong
Yes. When he turns that towards you, that's a camera.
Unknown
It's a wide angle.
Katie Green
Well, it has to be.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, I'm here live. I'm not a cat. Gotcha.
Katie Green
Says the cat wandering around the embassy.

Jack Armstrong [26:05]: "Do you get to call yourself doctor so and so if I have a PhD in history but I work at a hospital, yes. Do I get to call myself Dr. Jack Armstrong?"
Katie Green [27:32]: "Well, that's funny. I'm a doctor of nursing."
Jack shares an embarrassing story from his high school years in the band. Despite a planned humorous act during a music rest, Jack abstains from participating, leading to tension with his band teacher. This story underscores themes of conformity and personal integrity.
Notable Quote:

A poignant segment honors Mark Sassville, an F16 pilot who, during the tragic events of September 11, 2001, faced the harrowing decision to sacrifice himself to thwart Flight 93. Although his mission was aborted due to passenger intervention, Sassville's bravery remains a testament to heroism.

Notable Quote:
Jack Armstrong [20:24]: "He should have stood up right there and just walked out. The kids will be fine. The whole America's. The whole country is about to be freaked out."
In an intriguing turn, the conversation shifts to revealing some of the CIA’s most unconventional and bizarre historical projects. From deploying cats as spies to sending oversized condom parcels to the USSR, the hosts explore the lengths intelligence agencies have gone to influence global events and public perception.
Notable Quotes:
Jack Armstrong [42:07]: "They decided, him and this woman, that if required, they would hit the hijacked plane with their jets, making it a suicide mission."
Katie Green [43:16]: "CIA operatives drew up a plan to have packets of extra large condoms labeled small dropped on the USSR. The idea was to lower their morale."

Notable Quote:
Jack Armstrong [31:43]: "Nobody throws up at Disney World, that's gross. They have protein spills and every cast member has protein spill powder."

He posits that the CIA's investment in modern art was a calculated move to sway artists towards capitalism, questioning the authenticity of art appreciation.
Notable Quote:
Jack Armstrong [45:04]: "But modern art as a CIA weapon? Back during the '60s, the CIA anonymously bought modern art pieces, no matter how nonsensical, making a whole bunch of modern artists rich so they would embrace capitalism."
As the episode winds down, the hosts share personal reflections and humorous anecdotes, reinforcing the camaraderie and dynamic that define "The Armstrong & Getty Show." They tease future topics and express gratitude to their audience for tuning in.
Notable Quote:
Jack Armstrong [39:18]: "I haven't heard what this is, but it's labeled as the secrets of Disney World. I have never been to Disney World. Maybe I'll learn something here."

From addressing misconceptions about professional titles to uncovering the CIA's eccentric strategies, the trio offers listeners a compelling mix of humor, insight, and heartfelt narratives.
